The standard speaker stand constructed from aluminum has been significantly improved. The new legs with a tubing diameter of 35 mm and the large, fixed foot end caps guarantee stability and safety. Lasered bore holes and durable, robust plastic saddle washers improve the coefficient of friction between the legs and braces, preventing scratching of the finish. A compact clamp with a patented push-button system allows for user-friendly stand height adjustment. The locking screw provides additional stability and a vibration-free speaker mount. Additional features include a pull-out guard for the extension tube and an integral anti-shock component.
